Jonathan Taylor wants to be traded from the Colts

According to a report from Ian Rapoport, Jonathan Taylor asked the Indianapolis Colts for a trade. The running back is entering the final year of his rookie contract and, as it has happened with many players at the position, wants to be paid.

Just a few hours later, Albert Breer confirmed the information was true and revealed the shocking answer of Colts’ owner, Jim Irsay. “We’re not trading Jonathan…end of discussion. Not now and not in October!”

Now, the situation is very intriguing at Indianapolis. Taylor doesn’t want to play for the team, but, at least for now, he won’t be traded. In 2024, the running back will become a free agent.

The big question is if the Colts will give him a new contract, trade him to get something in return or just let him walk away next year. Taylor’s performance on the field will be crucial for leverage or getting a massive contract elsewhere.
